Oracle : Mexican Retailer Almacenes García Deploys Best in Class Oracle Retail Planning Solutions

Today, Oracle announced that fashion retailer Almacenes García has deployed Oracle Retail Planning and Optimization solutions to support growth and transformation. Almacenes García is a 70-year-old retailer that has shifted from a traditional apparel retailer to a fast fashion retailer. Today Garcia serves insatiable fashion-oriented millennial shoppers.

The demands of fast fashion retailing required Almacenes García to consider finding a solution provider who can help facilitate new production introduction, assortment planning and lifecycle pricing. The fashion retailer selected Oracle Retail to replace an outdated planning solution, to reduce the total cost of ownership through automation, adopt best practices and create a unified technology infrastructure.

'Garcia drives loyalty and gains market share through a single price strategy, the right mix of private label brands, fast inventory turnover and a compelling assortment specific to store type. With the Oracle Retail implementation, we transformed disparate and disconnected functions into a centralized and streamlined process with a collaborative and holistic planning approach,' said Andrei Savtchenko, Director IT, Almacenes García.

Almancenes Garcia selected Retail Consult to deploy Oracle Merchandise Financial Planning, Oracle Retail Assortment Planning, Oracle Retail Clearance Optimization and Oracle Retail Item Planning to support over 150 store locations across Mexico in just under 16 months.

'The Oracle Retail solutions include a rich tapestry of retail best practices, process workflows and architecture recommendations called the Retail Reference Library. This library gives you the confidence to deploy a vanilla implementation, and rapidly realize benefits.' said Andrei Savtchenko, Director IT, Almacenes García.

'At Oracle Retail, we are honored to serve over 5,000 retailers around the world. The power of this community is reflected in the development of our solutions,' said Ray Carlin, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Oracle Retail. 'As an early adopter of Oracle Retail Assortment Planning and Clearance Optimization, Almacenes García's experience will help to enhance future releases and improve the solutions for future customers.'
